MPG has recently gone from 50 to around 35 and I smell gas when I park the beast...

Any ideas what/where a leak could be?

07 XB12S with around 23K miles on it.

thanks!

I just took the tank off my 02 S3T to track down a fuel leak yesterday. It turned out to be in one side of the fuel injection system. I have not had a chance to look up parts yet so I do not know what I need yet to fix it... It is right after the split and it looks like a retaining clip of some sort is missing from the side that is leaking.

I will let you know when I find out more.

This section of the forums seems to be dead, but I will post what I found anyways...

My leak was caused by a missing injector clip. Luckily it was an easy fix
